Speakeasy

OUADBobcat28: Hey Cara, I got an IM from Bryan last night about the buttons? He wants to write Speakeasy in cursive w/ Ketchup and take a photo of it? I'll run the idea by Liz, but I almost think it would be better if we were consistent with the brick idea
OUADBobcat28: I don't know if he ran the idea past you and Kaite at all
OUADBobcat28: but let me know what you think

Any comments?

Cara,

That's great news. I look forward to seeing speakeasymag.com.

I'm sorry I didn't get back to you right away.

On process, our newsroom is hierarhical. I update the content on the site. Our system is that we have a daily editorial meeting where ideas are pitched. Everyone has input, but the editors have final say on what is covered. The reporters then go get the story. They check in with the editors if there are questions during the reporting. Then they write and submit their stories. The editor -- usually me -- edits and posts it.

For style, we mostly use AP style.

My advice to you is to stick to standard journalistic principals. But also be sure to let your imagination run wild on what you cover and how you cover it. You probably won't have too much chance for imagination once you get to the professional ranks.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Hi Bryan,
I know you are traveling today, but I just wanted to clarify that we
will be receiving an emailed copy of the logo from you in both black
and white and color (if a color version exists) no later than Monday
afternoon. We need to approve it to print our business cards and
t-shirts ASAP.

Thanks.
Cara
